This
page contains the names
of men who called Cattaraugus County home and served
in the War of 1812.
Almost all were born somewhere else and came to the county after the
war. They pioneered the county.

We owe them thanks and recognition.

This page contains names and
service information of 154 men who served in the War of 1812. It consolidates
service information
from our cemetery lists, the Cattaraugus
County Soldiers in the War of 1812 page on this site, and
pension information.

The
service column uses
these standard military
abbreviations: KIA
Killed in action; DOW Died of Wounds; DOD
Died of Disease; DNB Died
Non-Battle; DOI Died of Injuries; FOD
Finding of death/Missing presumed dead; Dead no
other info; POW Prisoner of War.

If
we do not know a soldier's burial place, the place where he lived or
died is
in square brackets in the burial column.

The ~ means we do not know.

of Honor page to see details about Cattaraugus
